But 4,000 miles away in Thailand’s xxx-rated tourist hotspot, the 37-year-old Gypsy King is running his mouth all over the Pattaya Strip.
AJ always tries to rise above the trash talk and baiting but he decided to jab one verbal back into Fury’s famously curvy gut, after the 6ft 9in showman once again labelled his potential November opponent a “bodybuilder”.

“After our fights this weekend and even after we fight, I’ll help him sort his body out a bit better so he doesn’t have to worry so much about mine so much.
“Once we get our fights done, I’ll help with some training so he doesn’t look like ‘Greedy Belly’ anymore and they can call him Mr Bodybuilder instead.”
AJ’s new training mentor, 37-year-old Oleksandr Usyk, outsmarted both brave Brits twice apiece and gave Fury the flabulous nickname.
And the Ukrainian genius is now backing AJ to beat Fury to the four-belt undisputed glory he has now achieved at cruiserweight and heavy.

And Joshua will have a decent crack at collecting the fragmented straps as Fury insists he is too big-time to clash with the new generation of title holders.
“All the new champions have been gifted world titles,” the Traveller said.
“Daniel Dubois, Agit Kabayel, Murat Gassiev have all been gifted world titles.
“How could you compare them men to me? a man who beat legends in the game for their titles, not possible.
“They are in their own little group and I am on the top of the Empire State Building.
“They have f*** all I want, they don’t have any money, I already had all the belts and they don’t have big names, who knows these people?
“They have no names and it takes years to build them. They are all doing their thing and they can fight it out between themselves.”
